If you listen carefully, you'll hear Jesse Helms' head exploding in hell.
And so, three states of the old confederacy have gone for Barack Obama. Anyone with a basic knowledge of American history (that leaves you out, Gov. Palin) will realize what a huge deal that is.
Here is the close-to-final map:
Obama/Biden: 364 electoral votes
McCain/Palin: 173 electoral votes
One vote in Nebraska, where they divide their electoral votes up by congressional district, is still outstanding.
All in all, a very impressive and mighty comfortable win by Barack Obama and Joe Biden.
